Remember how they use to say a whole lot of the Nazis went to South America after WWII; well, we know some did. Slight slant in reporting but will post nonethless.
Brazilian Neo-Nazi Groups Are On The Rise
Hate speech from Brazil's conservative politicians is strengthening an underground movement of neo-nazism

Last week, authorities arrested a Brazilian neo-nazi gang in the São Paulo metro. The four skinheads were carrying knives, axes, and fascist propaganda featuring Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. While the group’s intention was to attack a group of “punk”-rockers, they also carried posters reading “Jews out.”
The incident is one of a growing underground movement of neo-nazism in Brazil. Last May, two Brazilian neo-nazis were sentenced to eight years of jail time for racist remarks on social media. Brazilian law stipulates sentences between two to five years in prison for promoting Nazi or Nazi-related propaganda. However, hate speech by conservative politicians, including presidential hopeful Jair Bolsonaro, has served to fuel neo-nazism.
Last month, Police unveiled a bizarre plot. Ukrainian right-wing extremists were recruiting members of Brazilian neo-nazi movements to fight against pro-Russian rebels. According to detective Paulo Cesar Jardim, a notorious neo-nazi hunter, a group called Ukraine’s Misanthropic Division ran the recruiting.
